Why are the Celtiberians important today?
"Why are the Celtiberians important today" I guess this is because the many archaeological sites found. Traditionally this peoples were suposed to be a mixture from Celts and iberians. But this is now interpreted as wrong. Celtiberians were the most predominant ethnic group in ancient hispania because they were in fact the Celts who lived in iberia. It seems that what today is the iberian peninsula should be the Celtic peninsula, because iberians as people, only lived in the eastern coast. It seems that was also a problem to Romans, Greeks an Phoenicians. The name of Hispania come from the Phoenicians, but iberia comes from the Greeks who call this lands iberia because was inhabited by iberians. later roman realized that hispania was inhabited not only by iberians but Celts (if were such a thing, but that's is other problem) Romans were a practical people and used the phoenician name and did not care anymore.
